About The Freelancer Advocate

As a producer and editor of nationally broadcast ads, award winning documentaries and reality TV, Dave has crafted captivating narratives for over a decade, primarily as a freelancer. During this time, he served some of the biggest brands (eg. Suntrust, Audi, Facebook) and television series (eg. Hell’s Kitchen, Biggest Loser, Tanked) in the world. Dave is currently the Executive Producer of Black Chip Collective, an organization that connects an expert vetted network of freelance talent to clients.

Through a career of seeing freelancers from every conceivable angle, Dave found that freelancers, even established ones, are vulnerable and need someone in their corner. So Dave started giving presentations to teach freelancers how to protect themselves and how to build their careers. Now, as The Freelancer Advocate, he continues to teach and support freelancers through video courses, speaking engagements, and by speaking out against inequitable treatment.
